Morgan Turner: A Rising Swiss Painter Blending Women, Nature, and Freedom

Morgan Turner is a self-taught Swiss painter whose work is quickly capturing attention in the international art scene. Born into a family with deep artistic roots, Morgan discovered her passion for painting at a young age in her native Switzerland. She began by observing her grandmother at work, absorbing the fundamentals of drawing and painting long before receiving any formal training.

At 15, she enrolled in a school of applied arts, where she studied graphic design. Yet, it was the liberating and intuitive nature of painting that truly captivated her. As her connection to art deepened, she gradually decided to pursue it professionally. With each canvas, her confidence grew, and by the age of 20, she had fully committed to her artistic path.

Though grounded in classical techniques, drawing and composition remain essential to her. Morgan asserts her creative freedom through bold gestures, vivid colors, and expressive brushwork. Her work is deeply rooted in personal emotion and experience, drawing inspiration from both her surroundings and her inner world. Travel, whether through landscapes or introspection, plays a central role in her creative process.

“Art is a perfect freedom.

”This mantra fuels Morgan’s artistic spirit. Eschewing the confinement of big cities, she constantly seeks open spaces, riding her motorcycle across Europe in pursuit of beauty and authenticity. The Alps, with their towering peaks, rushing waterfalls, and tranquil pine forests, serve as recurring muses in her visual storytelling.

Her technique captures the ephemeral—the bend of a road, the curve of a wave, the formation of a cloud—with a dynamic, sketch-like spontaneity. These fleeting moments become vessels for intense emotion. Whether painting expressive female portraits or majestic landscapes, Morgan’s art resonates with raw emotional power.

A transitional figure between traditional painting and abstract aesthetics, Morgan has developed a distinctive process over the years of dedicated exploration. She often begins her pieces by gluing pages from books that have inspired her onto the canvas, then adds ink with spontaneity, letting intuition lead. Her favorite stage is the first layer of oil paint—when the work is undefined, and the journey of creation truly begins.

Her paintings are rich in symbolism and emotion, frequently described by viewers as "piercing straight to the heart." Through her brushstrokes, Morgan expresses love, hope, authenticity, and beauty, always drawing from the raw material of her everyday life.

With a bold yet poetic approach, Morgan Turner is establishing herself as one of the most compelling new voices in painting women, in her own way.
